COMBINED SASHn-HOLDER AND WEATHER-=STRlP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,564, dated January 13, 1885.

Application filed July .2, 18 4.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. Dav s, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hartford, in the county of Van Enron and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined XVindow Stop, Lock, and lVeathcrStrip; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the lotters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has for its object to provide a combined window stop, lock, and weatherstrip of an improved, simplified, and novel character; and it consists, essentially, in the details of construction and general arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically designated in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a window-sash embodying my improvements, with parts broken away to more fully show the novel features of my invention. Fig. 2 represents an end view of the window-sash, and Fig. 3 a detail sectional view thereof.

Similar letters of reference occurring on the several figures indicate like parts.

In carrying out my invention, suitable grooves, a, are out in the one end of the sash A, upon one side, for the reception of the spring-rollers B, which are arranged one at the top and another at the bottom of the sash, as shown in the drawings. The springs b, carrying the rollers B, are embedded at one end in the side of the sash, while their oppo site free ends are bent at right angles to pro vide an arm, I), for the rollers B to freely revolve upon. The outer ends of the arms 2) project into a narrow groove, 0, which runs vertically from the top to the bottom of the sash and opening outwardly, as shown. strip, D, corresponding in shape to and adapted to freely move in said groove, is provided with notches d, which fit over the ends of the springarms I), as shown in Fig. 3, the said notches being large enough to permit of a vertical (Modeh) movement of the strip D, as well as ofa horizontal movement of the same. Upon the op posite central side of the sash A is pivoted an arm or lever, E, which carries a frictional roller, 6, adapted for contact with the frame ofthe window in which the sash moves. Upon the upper part of the sash A is pivoted a right angled'lock, F, the one or lower end of which rests upon the top ofthe weather-strip D,while the opposite or upper end is adapted to engage beneath ascrew or lug, g, upon the upper sash, as shown in the drawings.

The construction of my invention being as described, it will be observed that in the operation of the same the springs b press the rollers B and the weather-strip D outwardly against the side of the frame, which causes the sash to raise very hard, but which, by the frictional contact, willstop the sash at any desired point, although, by raising the lever E upon the opposite side of the sash and causing the frictional roller 6 to come in contact with the frame, the window-sash may be raised quite easily, and by dropping the said lever the window is held again at any desired point.

The weather-strip D is made a trifle longer than the sash, so that when the sash is raised the strip drops down alittle below the bottom of the sash, and causes the lock Fto open or disengage itself from the screw head or lug upon the upper sash. This weather-strip at all times snugly fits between the sash and the window-frame, and by means of the frictional contact of the sash upon both sides of the said frame effectually excludes all dust or cold air and prevents the sash from rattling in windy weather.

The object of the springs, rollers, and weather-strip upon one side of the sash is to produce a friction upon the opposite side of the sash to stop the same at any desired height, while the lever E, with its roller 6, upon the opposite side of the sash, is provided for the purpose of taking off the friction when the lever is raised and allowing the window to slide easily, the lock F serving to lock both sasheswhen closed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful is- 1. A combined window-sash lock, stop, and

weather-strip consisting of the sash A, provided with the springs b, rollers B, weatherstrip D, bearing E, having roller 0, and the lock F, the several parts being constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The sash A, having slots a and with the screw head or lug g upon the upper sash, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
